ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT

Special Note From Your Clerk of Court Election Team:

You will note a significant number of races on the Nov 3rd ballot below.

This volume occurs once every 10 years when 2-year, 4-year and 6-year terms for various offices simultaneously fall on the same election. The next time Calcasieu voters will see this volume will be 2036.

For this reason, we strongly recommend that you review what is on your ballot before you vote during early voting or on Election Day. Don’t forget you can review your ballot on the GeauxVote app or on the Secretary of State website. Being prepared is key.

There will be races, propositions and 10 constitutional amendments.

See you at the polls!
